Patients to be monitored on iPhones

ComputerWorld.

GE Healthcare and AirStrip Technologies created the new app, called AirStrip Cardiology, which is compatible with GE's Healthcare Muse cardiology system. The 'Muse' system, which compiles cardiology for analysis, is already in use at hospitals.

The goal of the alliance is to give heart doctors the ability to access patient even when they are working off-site. Hospitals also will be able to purchase the AirStrip program via GE Healthcare, says the Business Journal.

Newsy Stocks reports that this may reduce the need to return to the or access a computer connected to the hospital network.

A remote cardiologist can now use AirStrip Cardiology to precisely measure ECG waveforms, helping on-site ED clinicians determine, for example, if a patient requires cath lab intervention.
